The book describes the chemical and physical properties and behavior of these complex assemblies and their applications. The contents of this book tell a story, taking the reader from fundamentals, including metal ions, ligands, metal-ligand bonding, and structure, to key concepts, such as stability, synthesis and mechanisms, properties, and characterization. Subsequent chapters address applications involving metals in biology, medicine, and industrial chemistry. Written by two highly qualified academics, this newly revised Second Edition of Introduction to...
